Savannah-Chatham police said Saturday a 60-year-old man struck by a pickup truck late Friday night was in critical condition.

Police spokesman Julian Miller said a 40-year-old man was driving a Dodge Ram north on Bull Street near Washington Avenue when Daniel Sweeney walked at a fast pace into the truck’s path from the west side of the street.

The driver attempted to swerve to miss Sweeney, but the man kept walking. The driver slammed on his brakes, Miller said, forcing the truck to spin counter-clockwise and come to a rest on top of Sweeney.

Miller said Sweeney was transported to Memorial University Medical Center just after 9 p.m., where he remained Saturday. Savannah-Chatham police’s Major Accident Investigation Team is continuing its investigation, Miller added.
